Here are some truths about Chiropractic.
Chiropractic is one of the oldest form of
natural health care of modern man. However, because of philosophical
differences, misunderstanding and economic competition, countless myths have
been circulated about Chiropractic. Even so, an increasing number of people
are realizing the benefits and are choosing
Chiropractic care... Why?
CHIROPRACTIC DOCTORS ARE WELL EDUCATED. After the required pre-med
undergraduate studies, today's Doctor of Chiropractic completes an
additional four-year program at a chiropractic college. Today, chiropractic
doctors get about the same number of college classroom hours as medical
practitioners.
CHIROPRACTIC DOCTORS ARE REAL DOCTORS. Like other types of doctors,
chiropractic doctors meet stringent licensing requirements, follow a strict
code of ethics, and are approved by governmental agencies. Few people
realize that a Dr. of Chiropractic, requires 6 years of college and
Internship.
CHIROPRACTIC IS SCIENTIFIC. A growing body of evidence and research
show chiropractic treatment is an effective, natural, non-surgical method of
promoting good health and treating a variety of ailments. For example, the
1993 Manga Report concludes that "chiropractic care is more effective and
more cost effective than other treatments for low back pain"; also, the
guidelines from the federal Agency for Health Care Policy and Research say
"spinal manipulation is an effective, safe treatment for relieving low back
pain". In 1990, a study in the British Medical Journal concluded that
"Chiropractic treatment was significantly more effective than medical care
and had longer lasting benefits".
CHIROPRACTIC IS SAFE. This year thousands of people will die from
medically prescribed drugs and medicine. Of the millions of patients
benefiting from chiropractic this year, only a handful will have a negative
newsworthy experience. Chiropractic patients are not required to get
chiropractic care forever. Each patient receives care specific to his or her
needs or injuries. However, like regular dental checkups, once patients
experience the benefits of chiropractic care, many choose to continue. How
long you decide to benefit from chiropractic care is up to you. The truth
is, chiropractic is the preferred drug free approach to better health that
has helped millions of people since 1895.
